Resumo:
A inatividade física é um dos maiores desafios à saúde pública devido à sua associação com doenças crônicas e ao impacto econômico sobre o sistema público de saúde. Entretanto, a prática de caminhada pode auxiliar a amenizar esses problemas. Objetivo: Verificar se existem associações entre prática de caminhada no lazer, presença de fatores de risco e gastos relacionados ao uso de serviços de saúde em usuários do sistema público de saúde brasileiro. Metodologia: A amostra foi composta por 963 adultos. A prática de caminhada foi avaliada a partir de questionário de Baecke. Gasto com tratamento/ano foi avaliado pela demanda por serviços registrados nos prontuários clínicos. Resultados: Prática de caminhada como atividade física de lazer foi referida por 64,4% dos participantes. Os grupos de maior prática de caminhada apresentaram menores valores para idade, IMC, CC e gastos com medicamentos. Indivíduos inseridos na categoria de maior envolvimento apresentaram 41% menos chances de estarem inserido no grupo de maior gasto total (OR=0.59; IC95% 0.39-0.89). Conclusão: Verificou-se que a prática de caminhada como atividade física de lazer foi a mais frequente para a maioria dos usuários do SUS, a qual foi associada a menores gastos com medicamentos e total.
